News Details

WILMINGTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Onto Innovation Inc. (NYSE: ONTO) today announced the successful qualification of the recently launched Dragonfly^® G5 platform for new and existing applications in 2.5D advanced packaging, with initial shipments expected in June.

The qualification completes a process to accelerate the launch of the Dragonfly G5 system given its new proprietary optics, illumination, and advanced algorithms that improve visibility and throughput resulting in a significantly reduced overall cost of ownership. According to industry analysts, with demand for AI devices enabled through advances in packaging expected to grow approximately 30% annually over the next two years, process control requires a far greater level of sensitivity than previous generations. The new Dragonfly G5 system offers industry-leading capability for customers needing to adapt quickly to changes in package sizes, architectures, and evolving process flows.

“We were very pleased with our performance across several process layers used for fan-out packaging. The flexibility of the system’s proprietary optics and AI-enhanced software allowed us to quickly adjust to each of the many challenges and deliver compelling value to our customers,” said Ido Dolev, executive vice president of product solutions for Onto Innovation. “The new Dragonfly platform is designed to provide the flexibility required for future packaging transitions, and we look forward to its potential to deliver value in markets not currently served by Onto Innovation.”

“We are proud of what the team has been able to achieve in a relatively short time with the delivery of the Dragonfly G5. With this second successful qualification, the new Dragonfly platform is demonstrating that we have the capability to deliver significantly greater sensitivity at an improved cost of ownership,” said Mike Plisinski, chief executive officer of Onto Innovation. “We believe this value proposition is resonating with customers, as we have observed a meaningful increase in demand for our Dragonfly platforms, which are now expected to grow more than 50% in 2026 compared with 2025.”

The Company’s preliminary estimate of its first quarter 2026 revenue is $292 million, above the previously communicated outlook of $275 to $285 million. Further, the Company is establishing second quarter 2026 guidance of $320 to $330 million, representing an 8% increase over previously shared outlook. The Company expects to release its full first quarter financial results after market close on May 5, 2026, followed by a conference call.
